If you have pets, Inca and her team will make you love and appreciate them even more, and if you don't, they'll make you desire to own one, preferably an adorable little cat. Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula written by R.F. Kristi is the eighth installment in the Inca Cat Detective series which can be read as a standalone.

In this book, we find Inca and her furry siblings, who are yet to settle down from their last trip to Sri Lanka, join their humanoid mom, Missy, on another trip to faraway Korea, where she was invited by Le Cordon Bleu as a judge at a patisserie competition between North and South Korean chefs and also to showcase her new cheese. Inca, a very clever Siberian cat who can't stay still when something goes wrong, finds mysteries and puzzles and tries to solve them with his team. And we can read about the wonderful adventures in which they participated, from the recovery of Missy's missing cheese to the reunion of their tour guide Ye-Jun and his sister Ji, among other things. Read this wonderful book to know if Inca & Company succeeded in their mission.

I enjoyed reading the book for a variety of reasons. Firstly, although Cat Detective in the Korean Peninsula is a children's book, its storyline, and plot are in the understanding of even adults. I won't fail to add that Kristi did a commendable job in her vivid description of Korea, as children who haven't been to Seoul and other places described in this book can visit just by reading her words. The language of this book, the colorful illustrations, the catchy cover page, and the writing style and font used in this book make this book very suitable for its target audience. In addition, I liked the fact that this book is very educational and contains so many moral lessons that children can learn from. There was no boring part of this book, and I enjoyed learning about Korean culture.

However, there was nothing to dislike about this book, and I would love to rate it 5 out of 5 stars for having a wonderful structure and an amazing plot. I found no errors when reading it, so I would say that it was exceptionally well-edited.

I recommend this book, particularly to children aged 5 to 12. The plot of this book is suitable for adults. I will also recommend reading the book at bedtime or as a family so that parents and their children can read it together.
